He statedhat, when quite young, hismother was induced to appren-ice him to a tailor in Wurzennamed Ludwig, ns a means ofgelling rid of him, and in orderto facilitate her second marringe in Saxony. As a furtherproof of his origin, he declaredhat there was an author theniving at Leipzic, but formerlya Hungarian officer, who hadbeen a witness to the marriage,and who would, it it ever becurue necessary for him lomake known bis rank and titlesupply him with the requisitedocuments in order to compelthe countess to recognize bisbirth and parentage. Afterleaving Stuttgardt, he traveledthrough Germany, Switzerland,and a part ol Austria, maintaining his claim to a princely rank,but never attempting obtainmoney or credit by it. On returninc: to Sluttgardt, in November ol the same year, hefound that his conviction andpunishment, bad been menHoned in the newspapers ofthat place, and he accordinglypublished an explanation inihe Burger Zeitung, in whichhe affirmed that he was notpunished lor claiming his nameand title, his right to whichthe court at Ischl had in no wisedisputed, but merely for writing it of his own accord in hispassport before he had sueceeded in establishing hisidentity before a court ot lawThe reputed prince is still living, and the Cross, one of theleading newspapers of Gerrrrany, in an article written atthe time, states that not onlydoes he bear a good characterfor his steadiness and generagood conduct, but he also produces a very favorable impresSbribner'sfor March.Dh.

Whenthey had secured the gun, andloaded it with ball-cartridge,they led the palm and steadfast mule oa the bluff, and setup a target in the middle ofthe river to practice at. Therear of the mule wai turned toward the target, and he wasbacked gently toward the edgeof the bluff. The officers stoodaround in a semi-circle, whilethe Major went up and inserted a. time fuse in the touchhole of the howitzer. Whenthe fuae was ready, the Majorlit and retired. In a few seconds the hitherto unruffledmule heard the fizzing backthere on his back, which madehim uneasy. lie reached hishead around to ascertain whatwas going on, and as he did sohis body turned, and the howitzer began to sweep aroundthe horizon.The mule at last became excited, and his curiosity becamemore intense; in a. second ortwo he was standing with hisfour leg's in. a bunch, makingsix revolutions per minute, nndthe howitzer threatening sudden death to every man willnnhalf a mile. The commandantwas observed to climb suddenlyup a tree; the lieutenants wereseen sliding over the bluff intothe river, as if they didn't careat all lor the high price of uniforms; the adjutant made goodtime towards the fort; the sergeant began to throw upbreastworks with his bayonet;the major rollel over theground and groaned. In twoor three minutes there was apuff of smoke and a thud, andthe mule ob, where was he! Asolitary brute might have beenseen turning successful backsomersaults over the bluff, onlyto rest at anchor Anally withhis howitzer at the bottom ofthe river; while the ball wenttowards the fort, hit the chimney of the Major's quarters,rattling the adobe bricks downinto the parlor, and fright eningthe Major's wife into convulsions.Skin Grafting.Anna Cooper, a married woman, was severely burned onthe breast and neck, a yearago, and has since been undertreatment in Bellevue Hospital.
